MARGARET MATHER is growing tat and

MARGARET MATHER is growing tat and
now weighs about two hundred pounds,
says the P, oria journal. When she was
girly girl. a fair and blushing maiden,
she kicked the beam at only about 1870
pounds. Thus. when as Juliet, she
threw her body upon the dead Romeo in
the tomb of the Capulets, the actor who
took that part felt as if an angel had
famed him with her wings Now when
she plumps down upon him, the unfor-
tunste chap gasps as if pile driver had
struck him. 1t IS no joke the physical
strain that actors have to undergo.
When Margaret now fsints and bumps
down the steps to the tomb, it sounds as
if Saratoga trunk was falling down
from the attic and landing in the cellar
